It was okay

It was very pink and clung to my dry patches. It looked cakey really quickly and didn't match my pink undertones. It gave reasonable coverage but overall it wasn't my favorite foundation, I would recommend wake me up over Match. Although I liked the finish of both, math is more of a natural matte, whereas the wake me up is more dewy. Just a heads up for asians :)

Love it!

I'd heard a lot of good things and so decided to pick it up. I was amazed at how easy it was to find my shade and the fact that I have a perfect match with my skin is something I haven't been able to do with any foundation before. Ever!

It comes in your standard foundation bottle - Yes it does come with a pump! Hallelujah! And it's a thin, lightweight, almost watery consistency. It's runny but won't run. It also smells great too, like a bowl of fruit.

On me it gives medium to full coverage. It does such a good job at covering my under eye bags that I don't even need to use concealer. This lasts on me the whole day, from 6am all the way to 9pm, without flaking, caking or coming off. However I do notice that by 9pm it has started to sink into the fine lines on my forehead - even though I have a primer on underneath.

It's really easy to blend, and I use a foundation brush to place it where I want, and essentially paint my face, then go over with a stippling brush, and stipple it all in to make sure it's all flawless. It does brighten up my skin and make it look really good.

One thing I will mention is that it is pink based. So it can tend to bring out the pink undertones of the skin. I wish they came out with the same foundation but with yellow tones.

I don't recommend this for oily skin people however- While I don't have oily skin myself - unless it's that time of the month, I do find that my skin is well, should we say moisturised throughout the day using the foundation. it's not greasy, but I can imagine it would be for someone who has oily skin.

I do sometimes use a powder over this - Maybelline Fit me, and I find that this makes it cakey over time throughout the day - I'm not sure if the powder is to blame, or the foundation. Just something to consider.

Doesnt cover anything

This make up is almost like having zero make up on. It does not cover any bleishes or red spots. It just evens out your skin tone a bit. You must use concealer with this. Good for people with perfect skin that just want it to be a bit more toned out.

I do like the consistency as its a little bit thick which makes it easy to apply and the pump makes this even easier.

By the end of the day it feels like you just need to get it off your skin because it feels like its clogged your pores and evaporated off your skin.

I love this foundation!

I bought this foundation in the shade Light Porcelain on a whim, after getting frustrated with how dark my other foundation was. Pale girls this is your salvation! Finally a shade that is light enough.

I usually wear this foundation over my Rimmel Lasting Finish primer, and it applies like a dream. It glides on so smoothly, and feels very light on the skin. I think that the coverage is very buildable, so you can wear it quite sheer and light, or go for a lovely medium coverage. I then use a concealer (Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in the shade Ivory) to cover up my dark under eye circles, and any blemishes.

I tend to have quite oily skin and I find that this lasts pretty well, but not amazingly. I powder to make the foundation last longer, and to keep the shine away.

I do find that Match Perfection can cling unattractively to dry patches a little, but not as badly as with other foundations I've used. If you do have dry skin, I would just recommend moisturising and using a primer before applying the foundation.

The packaging is quite nice and simple, and it has a pump dispenser which I really like. The foundation has a kind of strong scent, but it's really not unpleasant.

This product is so affordable, and such good value for money.

Tips: For long lasting and gorgeous coverage use with a primer and concealer.

Buff Buff Buff

Match Perfection is right. I have this in the lightest shade and it matches my skintone flawlessly. I absolutely love it. The consistency is quite thin and lightweight.When you apply it, it feels like there is nothing on your face. I use a buffing brush to apply this, I usually stipple foundation onto my skin but using that technique leaves this sitting on the skin in an unflattering way. I also find it best not to use my beauty blender with it. The finish is super natural and a light to medium coverage. I do find that I need to use a hydrating primer, like my L'Oreal Lumi primer, rather than a super silicone based one like my Porefessional. If I don't use a hydrating primer it does cling to the dryness on my forehead. Overall I really like this foundation now that I have the application down and I will probably be repurchasing it.

Also in terms of packaging the container is quite big, you get a lot of product and it's very sturdy. It also has a pump and depending on what kind of coverage you want, you use either one or 2 pumps and you're good to go. Makes it super easy to get the right amount of product.

Tips: Buff it into the skin, don't stipple. Buffing gives a more blended, natural finish with this particular foundation.

Match Perfection

Love it! When i was buying this they didn't have any testers so I had to guess as close to my shade as I could through the packaging, It is spot on, perfect match for my skin colour. It is my first time using a liquid foundation and I am super happy with the results. It was runnier than I was expecting but has a really good coverage and you can layer it for more coverage. The main thing I look for in foundation (apart from colour match) Is that it has to have a lightweight feel on my face. This has that, it doesn't feel like you are wearing anything at all so you look, and feel good. I love the natural finish it has. And the pump bottle is really convenient.

Tips: I would recommend using a finishing powder to set it so it doesn't move around. And be prepared to touch it up during the day

Perfect pale shade, but not great for oily skin

This shade is my perfect match - I am so pale I am practically see through. The lightest shade in the range is neutral to warm - not pink. My face looks more 'alive' when I wear this. It's a lovely light texture that blends well. For the first two hours, it wears well, but then my very oily skin starts to break it down and make it extremely shiny. The primers I have tried don't really help. I wish this was longer lasting because it's lovely! I keep using it , but have to powder several times.

Perfection

I owned the shade 100, so happy to finally find a brand with my shade. The consistency of the foundation is thin and liquidy, its not overly watery but it has run off my hand when i've forgotten ive had it on there. With the pump nozzle its so easy to get a desired amount. I personally apply with a foundation brush and it absorbs into my skin pretty well. Its never streaky. Mine has a really nice smell, like some foundations have an over powering scent but this is scent is gentle and like perfume. Its light coverage, takes me two pumps to get the desired coverage but once set with powder it lasts all day. A full bottle lasts me a couple months. If you have fair skin and want something light coverage then definitely try it.
